Week of Sept. 17

The most dominant influence we are likely to encounter this week includes Mars and Uranus. As mentioned before, these two planets often form a caustic and explosive combination. In this situation they are standing in a square to each other which sets the stage for an unprecedented and unexpected event. Mars is the warrior planet and is often at the scene of attacks and other aggressive acts. Whereas Uranus often delivers quite unexpectedly, which is why the combination merits our attention. Depending on the location in your personal horoscope, this combination usually delivers a surprise and sometimes an unpleasant one at that. On the global stage we might see a natural disaster of some nature such as earthquakes, tornadoes and the like. While nothing is guaranteed, the prospect remains high. At the same time Venus stands in a wide opposition to Uranus as well. Although not as precise or calculated, this combination can deliver a softer more approachable shift in relationships. It may be wise to double check our personal network and use caution when out and about.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your prospects for employment continue to motivate you this week. With that in mind you might be wise to reach out to collaborators or team members who might strengthen your case. Still, you may find that even though you are willing and able the restrictions to success are evident and results are hard to achieve.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Expect your focus to be drawn towards children and creative endeavors. While travel or education are likely to intervene in your plans, be aware of employment prospects that may come to light during the week. Unexpected romantic encounters are also likely so keep your plans loose so you can join in the fun.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21): Domestic topics continue this week as your ruling planet, Mercury pairs up with the Sun in the family part of your horoscope. This warm and welcoming influence may also touch on topics of travel and topics that broaden your mind. Your duty to a large organization may be the source of extra time invested in work-related topics.

CANCER (June 22-July 22): You may have to cope with some lingering paperwork or legal documentation that pertains to your significant partner or perhaps a sibling. Anything that has legal in it means a large organization most likely. You may be motivated to try and help resolve topics that engage large entities. An unanticipated creative idea may surprise you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The coming week may find you deeply immersed in financial topics. You may be researching new investment options or discussing divesting in outdated ones. Your purpose might be to provide security and a path forward for your significant partner. A surprise shift may catch you off guard at work and that may have a impact on your home.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You continue to be emboldened this week as your ruling planet, Mercury and the Sun team up in Virgo. You may be motivated regarding new work options or a new health regime that addresses your overall wellness. Surprises are likely if you travel and a love prospect may in the offing. Fun time.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): By week’s end you will be in the spotlight but for the time being you may find that you have to complete a long-standing project. You may be remodeling or looking to emphasize your creative outlet. Family matters may draw your attention away but they may be necessary and an appropriate turn of events.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Use the energy of the week to resolve team projects. As a member you may be able to shift the dialog in an effective manner as the topic of telecommuting might be what drives the conversation. A surprise from your significant partner may prove to offer an opportunity to reconnect romantically.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): It is quite likely that you will be in a public setting this week that allows you to showcase your special skills. With such an influence in your life you may be motivated to make a statement that clarifies a situation. Money and topics of that nature pose difficulties that must be addressed.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Travel and education offer up your best possibilities this week as Mercury and Sun gather in that part of your life. You may be plagued by a decision as to which direction to take when considering your future. The answer will come in time. Money motivates you and may provide a vehicle for the change you seek.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Legal topics may surface this week that draw you into queries with large entities. Discussions may revolve with business partners that involve contracts and disputes. Career options are prime focus for you and could deliver a surprising outcome that directly impacts your home life. You may be overly motivated, so be aware of extra aggression.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Relationships are on tap this week. Close friends, significant partners and acquaintances offer a lively opportunity to exchange ideas and conversation. You may find that your motivation rests with starting something new, but that time must be put into business associates in order to find the sweet spot that enables you to mutually benefit from the relationship.
